Got the tire sensor replaced on my 2005 Crossfire Roadster today (at a dealership), but they cannot get the computer to reset, or now read any of the sensors. They are telling me I will have to bring back and it will take 3-4 hours to run down the electrical issue. Has anyone else had this problem?? Everything else works fine..

 

NEVER take you Crossfire to a dealership!!! Click here for more info TPMS
Also you can use the search box in the upper right corner of this forum. Type in TPMS and use the google toggle option for best results.

 

Thanks so much your information may be a life saver- have emailed it to the technician at dealership.

The above link has a lot of good information on your issue.
I first would ask if the dealership still has their DRBIII tool. A lot of dealerships have moved on and have almost no support for the Crossfire and Mercedes disowned it long ago.
I knew what was wrong with my TMPS system and it still cost me almost 800 to repair it going the OEM way.
I would try to join a local group on Facebook or there may be someone on here that lives close that has the DRBIII emulator.
Welcome to the forum and please let us know what your resolution to the issue is. There are a lot of great people on here that will go out of their way to help you.

 

Why would you send an email to the dealership? You are opening yourself up to spending a huge amount of $ for them to sit on your vehicle and maybe get it to work. You must know there are very few dealerships left in FCA that has the SPECIAL equipment to read the computers and diagnose the car. Many hours of labor and troubleshooting adds up. Your new to the forum, it would be a shame for you to spend a lot of money (for) help and advice you'll get here for free. BTW, Mercedes Benz NEVER wanted to work on the Crossfire, even though the car was built with almost all MB parts. Also, the divorce they and Chrysler had was messy and that resulted with us (crossfire owners) to either work on them ourselves OR take it to a European car mechanic (who works on MB vehicles). They know from experiences this car is mostly either an SLK320 or an AMG32 Benz. It is your $, spend it however you want, but please rethink taking your car (or immediately picking it up) back in your possession. The TPMS system is VERY expensive to fix, and even veteran forum members have a lot of trouble getting the OEM system to work. There IS a workaround for that annoying light on the dash. Many just bypass the TPMS module (easily, if you cannot do it or don't want to do it just print the instructions out, available here in this forum) and either have a European MB mechanic do it for a small fee OR maybe a member here can hook up with you locally (always someone willing to help but maybe not in your area). Anyway, your choice... One thing you should do right away, do a google search for crossfire TPMS and you'll find a lot of help. Good luck with your choice but be aware way too many owners are ripped off (IMHO) with Chrysler trying to fix/repair our cars.

PS: When you do the TPMS bypass, the car thinks the tires are OK and the dash lamp does not light up. You'll do what ppl have been doing since pneumatic tires were invented (check the pressure with a tire gauge).

Thanks, I'll do some hunting.
